Donor Spotlight: Bob LeBien
The museum established its National Advisory Board in 1993 with Bob LeBien serving as its Founding Chair. While helping to advance the museum’s strategic mission in a variety of ways, he has been instrumental in establishing the art therapy program and continues to champion its success today.
“I originally became interested in art therapy as a treatment for abused and neglected children. And that the treatment would be especially enhanced if it took place in an art museum as opposed to an office or school room. In researching the subject, I could not find an art therapy program that was actually held in an art museum. I chose to present the concept to the Eskenazi Museum of Art, adding that I would provide the funding to develop a comprehensive art therapy program.”
